Direct your income. Build your future.
Cash flow planning is about more than budgeting. It's about directing the money moving through your life, what comes in, what goes out, what you owe, and what you keep, so every dollar works toward the life you want.
Illustrative allocation of one month's income; actual figures vary by household.
A complete approach to your cash flow.
From the income you earn to the wealth you keep, we help you build one coordinated plan, aligned with your goals and your family's future.
Income & Inflows
Salary, business income, Social Security, investment income, and required withdrawals, mapped to when they actually land.
Spending & Outflows
Living expenses, taxes, and the one-off costs that derail a year, planned to fit the life you want.
Debt & What You Owe
Mortgages, lines of credit, and the pay-down-versus-invest decision, organized and refinanced when it pays to.
Cash Reserves & Interest
Emergency and near-term cash moved into competitive, fully insured accounts and organized by goal.
Borrowing & Access
Access lined up ahead of time, using loans backed by your investments or your home, so you borrow smartly instead of selling.
Cash Flow to Net Worth
The surplus that turns income into wealth, tracked year over year against one long-term goal.
Mapping every dollar.
At Modern Wealth, we believe a clear cash flow picture is the foundation of every financial decision. We map every inflow and every outflow, income and investment distributions on one side; living, debt, taxes, and savings on the other.
The difference between them is what is left over, the surplus that quietly builds your wealth year after year. When you can see exactly where your money goes, you can decide where it should go instead.
Why what is left over matters
It is the single number that tells you whether this year added to your wealth or drew it down.

Reserve cash that works harder.
We see idle cash as one of the quietest leaks in a financial plan. Most households hold more than they need in accounts paying almost nothing; between 2019 and 2023, Americans left an estimated $291 billion in interest on the table doing exactly that.
We move your reserves into competitive, FDIC-insured cash, with no account fees or minimums, unlimited same-day transfers, and coverage far beyond a single bank's $250,000 limit. Then we organize it by goal, so every balance means something.
Don't let cash sit idle
The same reserves can stay just as safe and accessible while earning many times more.

Debt that works as hard as your savings.
We treat debt as part of your cash flow, not separate from it. We structure how you borrow, weigh paying down versus investing, and keep watch on your rates so an opportunity never slips past unnoticed.
When a refinance could lower your rate by half a point or more, you hear about it, with financing available up to $10M for purchases, refinances, and cash-out.
We watch your rates for you
Automated monitoring flags any refinance that could cut your rate by 0.50% APR or more.

Reach cash without selling.
Selling investments for a large expense can trigger a tax bill on your gains and pull money out of the market right when it is working hardest. We see that as a last resort, not a first move.
We line up access ahead of time and choose the right source for the moment, so you get the cash and keep the plan. You can even earn a little extra by lending out shares you already own.
Borrow before you sell
For the right need, borrowing against your investments or home keeps your investments growing.

Securities-backed lines are non-purpose and typically require a $250,000 minimum; margin and home equity lines are expected later in 2026. Borrowing against investments carries risk, including a forced sale if markets fall.
From cash flow to net worth.
Every choice in your cash flow, what you keep, what you owe, where spare cash sits, ends up in one place: your net worth. We track the mix and steer it deliberately over time.
That is how surplus income becomes diversified, durable wealth, and how you answer the only question that really matters: are you on track to be free to choose.
One plan, one number
We tie every cash flow decision back to a single long-term goal you can actually see.

SEP-IRA vs Solo 401(k): which shelters more for one owner
If you have no non-spouse W-2 employees and earn less than roughly $250,000 in net self-employment income , a Solo 401(k) will almost certainly shelter more money from taxes than a SEP-IRA - often by $24,500 or more in a single year.
